Day 43: The Power of Community Building Yesterday’s session with Uduak Okure on the importance of community building was absolutely enlightening. A huge thank you to her for sharing such impactful insights! One phrase stuck with me and that is “You go farther when you go with a team, rather than alone.” That’s the essence of why community matters—it’s about collaboration, mutual growth, and shared success. Here are some tips from the session that resonated with me: ✨ Practice Empathy: Understand the challenges of your audience. Active listening and sincerity go a long way in building trust. ✨ Be Kind and Authentic: Share resources, celebrate others’ wins, and offer encouragement. Kindness isn’t just nice; it’s essential for community growth. ✨ Shine the Spotlight: Highlight the achievements of others—it builds stronger connections. ✨ Boost Engagement: Use clear headlines, good visuals, and strong calls to action. And don’t forget to engage meaningfully with others’ posts! ✨ DM Strategically: Build relationships with purpose; random messages don’t foster genuine connections.

Day 10 of 30 Days Of posting consistently on LinkedIn I had to pause briefly because I was under the weather, but I’m back! And this break reminded me of something crucial in community building—clear guidelines. Just like we need rest and structure in our daily lives, communities need well-defined rules to stay healthy and thriving. Why are clear community guidelines essential? ✅ Set expectations – They help members understand the do’s and don’ts. ✅ Encourage positive interactions – A well-guided community fosters respect and inclusivity. ✅ Reduce conflicts – Clear rules prevent misunderstandings and make moderation easier. ✅ Strengthen trust – When members feel safe, they engage more freely. So, how do you create effective community guidelines? 1️⃣ Align your guidelines with the mission of your community. 2️⃣ Keep the language simple and direct. 3️⃣ Focus on what members should do, not just restrictions. 4️⃣ Pin it, link it, and remind members regularly. 5️⃣ Enforce the rules fairly & Consistently A well-structured community isn’t just about engagement—it’s about sustainable, meaningful connections. What’s one guideline that has helped shape a community you’re part of? Drop it in the comments below! #CommunityManagement #HealthyCommunities #Engagement #CMGR #LinkedInChallenge

A simple principle to drive more community engagement is to have more engaging discussions. A common mistake is to create 'what do you think?' style of discussions. But these fail because they: 1) Don't give members an emotional payoff. 2) Don't solicit useful insights and expertise. 3) Don't sound authentic - the questions on the left simply aren't how people engage with one another. As part of our Advanced Community Skills course, we spend plenty of time covering the principles to improve the quantity and quality of engagement in a community. I think everyone should master these principles - and I hope you can join us! Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/e73VHErE (you have two weeks remaining!) #community #course
